Alexander Edmund Batson Davie was a British Columbia lawyer, politician, and judge who played a significant role in the early history of British Columbia. He was the eighth premier of British Columbia. He served in office from 1887 until his death in 1889.

He was born in 1847 in Quebec, Canada, and studied law at the University of Toronto. After being called to the bar in 1871, he moved to Victoria, British Columbia, where he began practicing law. Davie was involved in politics from an early age and was a member of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia from 1878 to 1886. He also served as the Attorney General of British Columbia from 1883 to 1886. In 1886, Davie was appointed to the Supreme Court of British Columbia, where he served until his death in 1889. During his time in office, Davie was involved in several important legal cases, including the trial of the so-called "Man with the Golden Tooth," who was accused of counterfeiting gold coins. He was also involved in the development of the legal system in British Columbia, and was instrumental in the creation of the Law Society of British Columbia, the professional organization for lawyers in the province. Davie's contributions to the legal and political landscape of British Columbia have been recognized with several memorials and tributes, including the naming of a street in Victoria in his honor.
